CDC study on skin cancer costs emphasizes role of prevention
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study found that the average annual total cost for skin cancer increased by 126.2 percent over a nine year period versus only 25.1 percent for all other cancers during the same time period. The Academy agrees with the authors’ conclusion that these results “highlight the importance of skin cancer prevention and early detection efforts.”
